Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Through this sacrifice, we can now have access to salvation and eternal life with God. The song talks about the joy and the spirit of gratefulness that comes with God's gift of grace and the need to appreciate it.
The repeated lines of the song emphasize the point that even the weakest of us can become strong through faith in God, while even the poorest can become rich by recognizing and embracing the blessing of His gifts. The lyrics offer a message of hope and encourage individuals to appreciate the goodness of God and cherish the gift of salvation that He has offered through Jesus Christ.

This is my most favorite song of all time. To my Redeemer, my friend..Holy Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my friend.❤
Your name is Holy, and I bow my heart to you, oh Rightous King..The great I AM.
In the night, I was up praying & interceeding with tears for Hawaii...when
THIS SONG APPEARED ON THE CD??!! Tho it's NOT listed on the CD!
It quickly got my attention as I had Christian Country on!
First the simple beautiful notes of music. That blossomes into a full and sincere worship melody from my soul. As I was humming along I am comforted. I'm so grateful to Jesus Christ of Nazareth for what HE has done to rescue us.
For Hawaii, I prayed God's angels to quickly help all the grieving. And for God being there to comfort all the baby's, children, moms, dads & and grandparents whose lives were taken too soon...that their innocent blood is crying from the ground for justice. I have a persistent question...I asked God "Where are all the infants and children?" "WHERE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN??." Something is still not right with that whole Hawaiian devastation. But I know that God saw "who and how" that international devastation started and "why?" ❤
Heartbroken.
